Concluding E.W. Kenyon Quotes 12/31 Thursday Thoughts

After almost a year, this will be the last E.W. Kenyon quote, and the last quote of the year.  I'll be back Monday, January 4, with quotes by John G. Lake.  Wishing you a new year of God's spiritual prosperity. 

"Now in all these things we are more than conquerors" (Romans 8:37), and we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us.
There is no earthly power or demoniacal power that can separate us from the Father love that was in Jesus.  You are His own, and He is yours.

--E.W. Kenyon

Being What You Are 12/30 Wednesday Wisdom

If you demean yourself and talk about your lack, you rob Him of the glory of His finished work in you and you give place to the adversary's dominance.  You must never do it. You must get used to being what you are.  That may be hard with all the Christians about you magnifying weakness and failure, but you must magnify your union with Christ, your utter oneness with Him.
You can do it.  He is your very strength this day.  He is your ability.

--E.W. Kenyon 

Into the Realm of Victory 12/29 Tuesday Truth

Just as Jesus dared to say, "I am the vine, and ye are the branches"; or, "I am the light of this world"; you say, "I am what He says I am."  More than even that you can say, "I can do what He says I can do."
Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things in him who strengtheneth me." 
You see, we are moving out of the realm of weakness into the realm of victory; and you can say, "I am more than a conqueror, for I am complete in Him who is the head of all principalities."

--E.W. Kenyon

The Good Fight of Faith 12/28 Monday Meditation

I hope that all of you had a wonderfully blessed Christmas.  I am at the end of the book Advanced Bible Studies by E.W. Kenyon.  I will be concluding Kenyon quotes at the end of the week / year.  I will be starting the new year with another writer, probably John G. Lake, as our focus is early 20th Century Pentecostal pioneers whom you would not encounter in ordinary devotionals.

The good fight of faith is a battle that has been won a long time ago, in which you do nothing but acknowledge the defeat of your enemy and your own victory in Christ.  The fight of faith is not a struggle on your part.  It is a recognition and a confession on your part of the victory that you and Christ won over the adversary in that great substitutionary battle that took place before He arose from the dead.
You were identified in that.  You were crucified with Him.  You were buried with Him.  You were raised with Him.  You conquered the enemy with Him.
Now, with faith planted solidly upon this foundation, you face your enemy without fear.  You dare to say, "I am the righteousness of God in Christ."

--E.W. Kenyon

Old Things Passed 12/24 Thursday Thoughts

This will be the last post until after Christmas.  Wishing each of you and your families a blessed Christmas and remembrance of the Greatest Gift of All.

"Wherefore if any man is in Christ there is a new creation."
Did you notice something?  "The old things have passed away."  [2 Corinthians 5:17]
What are the old things?  They are failure, weakness, fear, a sense of unworthiness.  They have stopped being.
What  are you?  You are a branch of Christ. You are a part of Christ just as the branch is a part of the vine.  You are a part of Christ, and Christ is God.  (John 15:5)
The same wonderful characteristics that were manifested in the earth walk of Jesus now can be manifested in you.  All it requires is that you take your part.

--E.W. Kenyon

Who Can Separate? 12/23 Wednesday Wisdom

Then the Spirit triumphantly cries:  "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?"
There can't be anything.  Satan has no ability to do it.  Circumstances can't do it:  sin can't do it because we have our own Advocate, we have our own Savior, our own Intercessor.  We are more than conquerors.

--E.W. Kenyon

Come Boldly (part 2) 12/22 Tuesday Truth

You come boldly now because They have made you a New Creation.  They have made you the righteousness of God in Christ (II Corinthians 5:21).  You are now His very righteousness because you are a partaker of the Divine Nature.  You are a very son, a very daughter, and He is your own Father.Can't you see what it can mean to you to come into a throne room under such conditions? There is your Advocate.  There is your Savior.  There is your Lord on your side.
Can't you hear Him say, "How will He not with Him freely give you all things?"

--E.W. Kenyon

Come Boldly (part 1) 12/21 Monday Meditation

Can't you see what it means to have a High Priest, a Mediator, an Intercessor, an Advocate, and a Lover in the highest seat of authority in the universe?  He ever lives to make intercession for you.
Now He bids you to come boldly to the throne of grace.  That means that you are to come into His presence with your needs.  You are in the throne room, and the Father that loved you and gave His Son up for you is on the throne.  That man who loved you and gave Himself up for you is seated by His side, there to love you.  (to be continued) 

-- E.W. Kenyon

The Righteous One 12/18 Friday Faith

When we lose our sense of righteousness, and the adversary has gained the ascendancy:  then we make the confession of our sins and we cry for mercy.  Jesus takes up our case.
He is the Righteous One.  He can stand for us.  When we lose our sense of Righteousness, He can restore us again to our fellowship.

--E.W. Kenyon 

Our Intercessor 12/17 Thursday Thoughts

Hebrews 7:25,  "... seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them."His ministry of intercession is little appreciated by the believer.  In every temptation, in every trial, and at every hard place, Jesus ever lives to pray for us.  This is the reason for our victory.
Paul says in Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things in him that strengtheneth me."
Strength comes through His intercession.

--E.W. Kenyon 

Exercise in the Word 12/16 Wednesday Wisdom

Philippians 1:20 gives us a beautiful illustration:  "According to my earnest expectations and hope, that in nothing shall I be put  to shame, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death."

Paul wanted Christ to be magnified in his body through the things he did and said.  He wanted Jesus to be magnified, made attractive, so that men would want Him.  This can only come as we exercise ourselves in the Word.

--E.W. Kenyon

Dominate the Circumstances 12/14 Tuesday Truth

You see, you become so strong in the Word that you dominate the circumstances around you.  You understand that faith is not the product of sense evidences, but faith is something that grows out of your spirit that has walked in the Word, lived in the Word, and in which the Word has lived and dominated, until it becomes utterly one with the Word.

--E.W. Kenyon

The Adversary Is Conquered 12/14 Monday Meditation

[Jesus] was our substitute, and His combat with the adversary was our combat.  He defeated Satan, stripped him of his authority before He arose from the dead.  This victory becomes ours when we remember that the adversary that is combating us is conquered, that he is our subject instead of our master.  Then we should say, "In Jesus' Name, demon, you leave me," and he must go.

-- E.W. Kenyon

Saturated With the Word 12/11 Friday Faith

Our spirits can be so developed, so strengthened, that we will become God-minded, Word-minded.  In the morning our minds unconsciously go to Him for guidance and wisdom for the day.  We have exercised ourselves in the Word until our whole being is saturated with it.

--E.W. Kenyon 

Secret of Meditating 12/10 Thursday Thoughts

The man who controls his meditation will control his conduct and control his speech. When we learn the secret of meditating in the Word, yielding our minds over to the Word, then Psalm 104:34 becomes a reality. Our meditation will be sweet unto Him, and we will rejoice in Jehovah.

--E.W. Kenyon

Psalm 104:34 New King James Version (NKJV)

34 May my meditation be sweet to Him;

I will be glad in the Lord.

Feeding on the Word (cont.) 12/9 Wednesday Wisdom

Committing the Word to memory does not do it; learning the history of the books of the Bible does not do it; learning the Hebrew and the Greek words will not do it.  Only one thing will do:  my doing the Word, practicing it, living it in my daily life, trusting in it, acting on it.  That is our secret.

--E.W. Kenyon

Feed on the Word 12/8 Tuesday Truth

Just as we have exercised ourselves physically to build up muscle, as we have exercised mentally to build up memory and store our minds with facts and data, so we now should build up our Love life, build up our wisdom life, build up our creative energy.
How? By feeding on the Word of God.  The Word is God's wisdom, God's ability, God's very Life.  As I feed on it, it cultivates, strengthens, and builds up my spirit.  It builds faith into me.  It builds God's ability into me.  It builds into me every attractive thing that you saw in Jesus' life.    (to be continued)

--E.W. Kenyon 

Sons of God 12/7 Monday Meditation

The Jews were the servants of God; we are the sons of God.
I John 3:2, "Beloved, now are we the sons of God."
John 1:13, "Who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God."

--E.W. Kenyon

Recreated by God Himself 12/4 Friday Faith

Ephesians 2:10, "We are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus."
When you know that you have been recreated by God Himself, you know that the work is satisfactory to the Author of the work.
It gives you a real foundation for faith.

 --E. W. Kenyon

Christianity Is / Is Not... 12/3 Thursday Thoughts

Christianity is a relationship between the Father and His Family.It is not a religion.
It is not having your sins forgiven.
It is not joining the church.
It is being made a New Creation in Christ; it is being born from above.
It is receiving the Nature and Life of God.
It is being united with Christ. 

--E. W. Kenyon

Reasoning Faculties vs. Our Spirits 12/2 Wednesday Wisdom

We ought to understand that the Father does not reveal Himself to our reasoning faculties but to our spirits.
Our reasoning faculties can only apprehend the things that the five senses convey to them.
Outside of that, the reasoning faculties are unfruitful.
When our spirits are recreated they receive Eternal Life.
We can know the Father.  We can enjoy fellowship with Him through His Word.  We have become so utterly identified with Him, so utterly one with Him, that the "vine and the branch" is the only suitable illustration of this new and beautiful relationship.

--E.W. Kenyon
